​Carol: "My husband and I were delighted to be part of this child's life when he was adopted as a very sick infant. His parents have done everything they could to help him thrive and are proud that he will be Bar Mitzvah in June. We are blessed that as Christians, we were asked years back to be his godparents. It has been a wonderful journey of faith and trust with our two families."
